Reading an earlier posting from Steve about !DOCTYPE, I checked mine.
I found this _<html xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml"
xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40">_

Do I need it or should I use what Steve recommended instead?
 
The "_<html xmlns:v="urn..." is added by FP when you add any VML functions to your page, such as
WordArt, Textbox, etc.) or convert Office Documents to HTML, etc.

Yes. Make it the 1st line of the page. Of course, you should get rid of
any Word Art or other IE only features on your page too....
 
I have to let someone else answer you on that, as I don't add DOCTYPE to my pages.

Why would I do this?
They show up as plain graphics in other browsers.

It's up to you. I hate to encumber a page with all that scruffy stuff,
especially since it doesn't validate, either.
 
To get rid of the code bloat, and for better cross-browser
support.

If I wanted to do this I would be using Dreamweaver or nvu.
There is no point in using FP and at the same time not using the things FP
has to offer.
 
Although vml graphics / wor art, etc are some of the things FP "offers" it's really not a good idea
to use it as it is only compatible with products included within the Microsoft Office "family".

However it does create some nice graphics. So, what I do is take screenshots of the graphics,
convert them to images and then use the images on a page.

Easier still is to open up NVU, copy the graphic (gif), and import it back
to FP.
 
It is Also added when you use FP Categories in pages
